Selen Eren

I am an interdisciplinary social scientist working on the politics of environmental science targeted to address pressing environmental crises, with expertise in science and technology studies and a focus on multispecies, transdisciplinary, and interventionist approaches. In particular, I am highly motivated to work with natural scientists and practitioners, whose work addresses different forms of biodiversity loss at different scales, to understand and transform the kinds of knowledge and relations they produce in order to contribute to building just and multispecies liveable futures.

In my current postdoctoral project In the Shadow of Carbon, funded by the Kone Foundation, I will focus on why and how something as complex as soil health is mostly understood in terms of its carbon sequestration capacity, and how its governance is translated into carbon farming knowledges and practices in Finland and beyond.
